6. REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
<For refrigerant piping of outdoor units, see the installation manual attached to the outdoor unit.>
<Execute thermal insulation work completely on both sides of the gas piping and the liquid
piping. Otherwise, a water leakage can result sometimes.>
Be sure to use insulation designed for use with HVAC systems.
<Also, in cases where the temperature and humidity of the refrigerant piping sections might
exceed 86°F or RH80%, reinforce the refrigerant insulation (13/16 in. or thicker). Condensation
may form on the surface of the insulating material.>
<Before refrigerant piping work, check which type of refrigerant is used. Proper operation is not
possible if the types of refrigerant are not the same.>
CAUTION
• Use a pipe cutter and flare suitable for the type of refrigerant.
• Apply ester oil or ether oil only inside of the flare portions before connecting.
• To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter from infiltrating the tube, either pinch the end
or cover it with tape.
•
Do not allow anything other than the designated refrigerant to get mixed into the refrigerant
circuit, such as air. If any refrigerant gas leaks while working on the unit, thoroughly ventilate
the room immediately.
• Do not mix air or other gas with the specified refrigerant in the
refrigeration circuit.
•
Ventilate the room if refrigerant gas leaks during the work.
•
The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
•
Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench together, as
shown in the drawing, when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/
from the unit.
(Refer to Fig. 13)
•
Refer to
Table 3
for the dimensions of flare nut spaces.
• When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare section (only inside)
with ester oil or ether oil, rotate three or four times first, then screw
in.
(Refer to Fig. 14)
•
Keep all the screw mounting resin parts (e.g., piping presser
plates) away from oil.
If oil adheres, the strength of the screw mounting resin parts may
drop.
CAUTION
Over-tightening may damage the flare and cause a refrigerant
leakage.
